Weeks after vaccine reference strain available<br />

Inactivated vaccine<br />

For facilities <strong>of</strong> the same size and with the same number <strong>of</strong> eggs, the speed <strong>of</strong> <strong>production</strong> <strong>of</strong> LAIV is much greater than <strong>for</strong> IIV since the yield per egg is<br />

greater, there is only limited downstream processing <strong>for</strong> the LAIV, and the QC and release <strong>of</strong> LAIV is more rapid. This results in far greater cumulative doses<br />

produced in the window after a vaccine reference strain becomes available.<br />
